I have just uninstalled Strawberry Perl and reinstalled it then attempted to install PAR::Packer with:

cpanm PAR::Packer

C:\>cpanm --force PAR::Packer
--> Working on PAR::Packer
Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/R/RS/RSCHUPP/PAR-Packer-1.050.
+tar.gz ... OK
Configuring PAR-Packer-1.050 ... OK
Building and testing PAR-Packer-1.050 ... FAIL
! Installing PAR::Packer failed. See C:\...\build.log for details. Ret
+ry with --force to force install it.

Using the force produced the same result. The log contents look happy until:

The interesting bit seems to be

C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\MinGW\bin\windres.exe: Can't detect target endia
+ness and architecture.
gmake[1]: *** [Makefile:880: ppresource.coff] Error 1

which is related to windres -i winres/pp.rc ... --target=pe-x86-64. However pe-x86-64 doesn't seem to be a valid target on my system. windres --help reports:

I've no idea how to fix that.

Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond
